Dances with Dragons

It seems that it has been a bit winterish on our Blog.
Picture
KingD {aka Gonzo} has become a lot more kinked with damage to his snout that forced him
to learn how to eat around a bend. Poor guy, I had tears in my mask the first time I saw his new injury, thankfully it healed, at first it didn't look like it was possible.
Picture
Spring has sprung and we are looking forward to being able to get more dives in than recent months. Thankfully we had a pretty mild winter in Perth so we were able to dive pretty much all the way through. Partially due to the amazing custom hoods Kat from Arjetta made for us keeping us nice & toasty and the amazing team @ The Dive Tub keeping us in the water with their outstanding service...

Picture
PrincessA sporting her newly clipped wing, I have a sneaky suspicion that their injuries could be caused by hunting Jacks? As they seem to come through in schools feeding quite indiscriminately off the reef? So many questions when we look beneath the surface.

Seadragon ID is relatively simple. We recognise individuals by their broken or missing appendages or if they are perfect by the markings on their snout.
Picture
Weedy Seadragons also known as Common Seadragon or Phyllopteryx taeniolatus are mesmerising, majestic creatures to encounter as they go with the flow in the ocean.
Picture
It really is amazing how much and how quickly they can get around, especially when they are carried away in strong surge. Literally here one minute gone the next. Don’t take too long to adjust your camera or you may just never see it again ;)
Picture
If we don't use strobes to photograph them they blend amazingly well in their habitat, making them quite a challenging little creature to find in the first place.

Picture
One of those rare blue clear days with low surge :)
Picture
We just can't get enough of these beautiful locals we are fortunate to have on our doorstep. So looking forward to documenting some eggs, babies and courting rituals in the near future...
Stay tuned :)))
